Welcome to a very brief edition of the VCSE newsletter.
I know that for many of your groups, the summer period can be particularly busy, with closures, volunteers taking well-earned holidays, and time needed to catch up on admin and other commitments.
But, I wanted to send out a quick reminder of some upcoming deadlines so that you don't miss out on support available specifically for NW Leicestershire groups.
If any groups need any support, regarding accessing funding or making future plans please don't hesitate to get in touch with me; Dawn Deacon at grants@nwleicestershire.gov.uk
Free online training course - Thursday 10 September, 10 - 11.30am
We still have spaces available for VCSE groups and parish councils.
We have commissioned Ian McLintock from Charity Excellence to deliver an engaging and easy to follow course on guidance for bid writing, and how to use appropriate AI tools to reduce workload when applying for grants.
The course is free, but spaces will be limited, and so we can only allow one attendee per group.
Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis (with a waiting list). We ask that you only register if you will definitely be attending, and we will have to charge any groups cancelling with less than 48 hours notice £10 per person.
Please sign up ASAP so that we can confirm numbers.
